If a Stanmore property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds.

With a view to making things simpler for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased name erased from the title by applying to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
